How Does an Alabama Health Studio Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a health studio bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the health studio filing the bond
- Obligee: The Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Office requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of § 8-23-3 of the Code of Alabama.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your health studio bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
After renewing, you’ll receive a continuation certificate to file with the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Office as proof of ongoing coverage.
